"You know how hard it is to put that kind of mileage on an Uber car?"

I wonder if he was running a shuttle service from Chicago airports.

That is impressive.

[Drastic]

The crazy part is he just needed to give 3k "buyout" to release. He bought the car and sold it back at lease end, 3k was the difference.

If you could bank on that...

Exactly my thought.

Yeah, that surprised me too.

I thought where the article was headed was that it was another case of someone driving for Uber but not accounting for capital costs, just gas and tires. Then there was the $3K buyout and I thought, "Damn, some people are clever."
